Anton Panev is working on a Google Summer of Code project for NetBSD, adding support in pkgsrc for RPM/Debian package formats. He posted a status report recently; will this come to DragonFly via pkgsrc? I don’t know!

Mixing pkgsrc and alien packages
Posted on August 23rd, 2011 by "justin sherrill" from "DragonFly BSD Digest"Fossil and Git mirrors of pkgsrc and src
Posted on August 3rd, 2011 by "Jörg Sonnenberger" from "NetBSD Blog"The NetBSD CVS repository has seen a lot of work over the recent months to clean up various historic artefacts. Together with the improvements in cvs2fossil and the Fossil->Git conversion, it is now possible to provide a precise, up-to-date conversion.
The Git repositories can be found on github, checkout pkgsrc and src.

Postfix 2.8.4 imported into NetBSD-current
Posted on July 31st, 2011 by "matthias scheler" from "NetBSD Blog"
Postfix 2.8.4 was imported into NetBSD-current today. The changes since Postfix 2.8.2 are:
- Performance: a high load of DSN success notification requests could slow down the queue manager. Solution: make the trace client asynchronous, just like the bounce and defer clients.
- The local(8) delivery agent ignored table lookup errors in mailbox_command_maps, mailbox_transport_maps, fallback_transport_maps and (while bouncing mail to alias) alias

USB Keyboard Support for DDB
Posted on July 31st, 2011 by "marc balmer" from "NetBSD Blog"
More and more modern computers don't come with a "real" keyboard interface anymore, and that makes our lives hard when we have to enter the kernel debugger DDB. Well, not anymore if you run -current. jmcneill@ committed code which lets you use DDB with USB keyboards. See

Posted on July 22nd, 2011 by "justin sherrill" from "DragonFly BSD Digest"I spied a bulk build of pkgsrc using clang. It’s interesting to see the results… It’s on NetBSD, but it should be possible to try the same thing with CCVER on DragonFly. Any takers?
Core group composition change
Posted on July 13th, 2011 by "s.p.zeidler" from "NetBSD Blog"
The directors of the NetBSD Foundation and the Core group wish to
welcome Alan Barrett as new member of the Core group.
He is replacing Antti Kantee; our sincerest thanks to Antti for all his efforts during his core tenure, specially for pushing through the tiered port support model and for making bug bounties a reality.
